| Description: | VIEWS FROM A TRAIN Travel shots from windows of train showing industrial decay in Lancashire. (buildings, dwellings, attached houses, workers' housing, suburbs, factory town, rowhouses, working class, poverty, industrial area) Accrington, Lancashire Tracking shots from train through outskirts of a city, or the sprawl between citiesm in northern England near Accrington, Lancashire. A landscape of acres of identical row-houses, built in industrial area for factory workers. These are suburbs but not as we now typically picture that word. The housing seen here is old and dilapidated. Demolition of old warehouse building with crane and wrecking ball (we see this while train is stopped). Train starts moving again passing still more 'towns' all comprised of old Victorian era row houses and factories. View from train looking out side window, now with cam pointed ahead on track; pan rt over factory area with various low buildings and a few smoking chimneys. Tracking shot through town. This is a more downtown area with greater variety of buildings, stores public buildings churches in the midst of neighborhoods of rowhouses. Train stops at a platform; sign shows that this is Accrington. | |
